Bath re-enamelling at your home in Rawthorpe
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and stains that won’t shift, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common questions in Rawthorpe
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you cover Rawthorpe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Rawthorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body

- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rawthorpe
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rawthorpe as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
